The Old Testament, Hebrews, and the Coming of Christianity

Bryant Conference Center

Instructor: Larry Clayton - A quick history/tour of how the Old Testament feeds into the history of Christianity, from Abraham to John the Baptist and the appearance of Jesus Christ. We will explore questions like "Is the Bible True?" to the prophetic traditions of some of the great prophets such as Isaiah and Daniel and examine the elements of Christianity which arose from and within its Judaic traditions. We will emphasize the historical dimensions of the subject, especially how historians work to determine what happened in the past, and how in the early history of Christianity one has to reconcile faith with historical foundations.
